Certainly interesting and warrants further looking. Probably costly and for a costly gun, it needs to be verifiable. Interesting and raises issues that it is a post early 20's D because of the later style safety slide and it doesn't have ejectors, at least you called it a DH. Kind of wonder if it is an embellished and restocked G or V.
I have on occasion seen 00 frames without serial numbers and with the V engraving buffed off. Always wonder what became of the frame.
Very interesting and if correct, could be a great gun. Obviously, a person would need the gun in hand and several hours spent with it. I have seen D engraving variations but have not seen this one.
Oops, I see now that it has the old style safety slide, not the new. Guess it is more likely now that it is a correct D with extractors for that period. Wonder what the frame size is? There are a bunch of 0 frame 20's that were rebarreled to 28's but in the early years, the 0 frame is correct. Hmmmm. And then, most correct 28's are late guns and almost all correct 28's are late V grades. Gun in hand.
